Tony:

Had some free time tonite since I got home much earlier than I had expected so I looked up the Rushing name in three of my Sumpter County, Alabama books. Turns out that there were quite a few.

>From Pioneer Families of Sumter County, Alabama by Nelle Morris Jenkins

>From page 94 on the Matthew Harper Boyd & Eliza Amanda Key Boyd family:
Daughter Mary born in 1845 married Benjamin F. Rushing

>From page 95; (not Quote) Benjamin F. Rushing was born 17 March 1842, he and Mary are buried at Elmo, Texas. (Quote) "Their children: Bob, Connie and Bennie. It is said that Bob became a doctor and removed to Louisiana; Connie never married as he was badly burned when a child so could not walk. Bennie is buried by her parents. She died when her son was born; he was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. King of Tyler, Texas."

Hope some of this helps.
